Letters: Tea Party Message Simple: Cut Taxes

The Mississippi election got a lot of media attention when the established Republican Thad Cochran beat out the tea party candidate, Chris McDaniel. Reportedly, a Democratic group produced robo calls slamming the tea party candidate as someone who would give Obama, “our first black president,” a hard time. Race card played. Crossover Democrats vote in Republican run-off and Cochran wins.

Disagreeing with someone and being called a racist for it is nothing more than a tactic to shut you up. For those who don’t know what “Tea” party stands for, it’s Taxed Enough Already. Plain and simple. Beliefs are: less taxes, less government interference, live within your means, and follow the Constitution. What outlandish concepts! Trying to infer that tea party candidates are racists is simply not true no matter how many times Democrat talking-heads say it and mainstream media implies it.

Are you not taxed enough already? I know I am. And I’d vote for anyone who wants to do something about it.
